I may have a face for radio, but you, sir, have a brain for television.

The Non-Date Date

You all probably know of that which I now type. The phenomenon may not be limited to my life, but it is something that happens more often to me than my friends. I know a couple women in the DC Metro area with whom I like to hang out. These are not women I am trying to hump, regardless of whether the back part of my brain thinks that would be a whole lot of fun and trouble.

We sometimes meet up for dinner, movies, hikes, and shows. I don't think this is at all odd. We are friends and hang out. No big deal. Some people have asked me why I would waste time being friends with a woman I don't plan to date or hump. This is akin to asking why we need a functioning intelligence service or investigative press corps. A fresh female perspective on certain aspects of life is important.

Friends who like to take walks at night and toss a frisbee in a park on a pleasant, mosquito-free evening in March are rare.

I wish there was a frisbee golf range close by that would let me play at night. I could bring the 2 AM Game back.

Funny you mention this,Chuckles. I was just talking about this last night with a female friend of mine. One of her male friends told her guys can't really be just friends with women. Which is just not true. Plus, you're right, it's like having your own focus group at your disposal.

I'm totally with you. Chuckles. I've always had fantastic female friends to do all kinds of non-sexual things with. In fact, outside of my two or three closest friends, who are guys and/or Pinko Punkos, I much prefer the company of women.

Look, I didn't say I didn't understand how you can do it, I just said I didn't understand why you did it.

Clearly, time spent hanging out with the opposite sex that you aren't trying to procreate with is time that could be spent more productively watching reruns of 70's tv shows or reading a book or something.

I view the time spent with these friends as research into improving my odds of time spent practicing procreation with other women. Also, they aren't boring or anything so it's not like I am not having fun with them.

TBH I have fantasies about all of my female friends. I have never met a girl that I haven't imagined in bed naked. we can be friends but I am still going to picture you naked. Unless you are older than 35. or fat. yes I am like the kiddy pool in winter. shallow and cold.

That's not completely true. And it depends on how we define 'fantasies'. AG knows something that once came out of the Chuck mouth that could start WWW III on the blogs. However, UC told AG to never speak of it in public.
